Injustice 2 Xbox One Achievement List and Guide

Injustice 2 is a massive fighting game, with 28+ iconic characters and plenty of modes to keep players busy. It also features 62 Achievements/Trophies to unlock. This Achievement Guide offers tips and strategies for all of them.

Injustice 2 Xbox One Achievement/PS4 Trophy Guide

This guide applies to both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions of the game. The mobile version of Injustice 2 is a much different game, so you won't find advice for it here.

Story Achievements

Story mode is the first single-player mode you should spend time with. Here you'll earn XP and Gear for several characters, as well as unlock Brainiac upon completion.

Potential spoilers.

Half Way There (15)

Complete 50% of Story mode

This Achievement unlocks after the first fight in Chapter 7: Breaking and Entering. Just beat Harley Quinn, and it should pop.

Who's Next? (15)

Complete 100% of Story mode

Story mode consists of twelve chapters:

Godfall – Batman

The Girl Who Laughs – Harley Quinn

The Brave and the Bold – Green Arrow and Black Canary

Invasion! – Flash

Sea of Troubles – Green Lantern

Assault on Stryker's Island – Blue Beetle and Firestorm

Breaking and Entering – Cyborg and Catwoman

Goddess of War – Wonder Woman

Last Hope of Krypton – Supergirl

Three Kings – Aquaman and Black Adam

The World's Finest – Batman and Superman

The Choice – Batman and Superman

You can set the difficulty to Very Easy to make this easier, as there are no difficulty-based Achievements.

I'll Do It Again (15)

Complete Story mode after doing all alternate paths

After completing the Story once:

Select Chapter Select from the Story mode menu.

Scroll through the Chapters and look for fights that offer two playable characters. A second character will appear in gray under these fights.

Pick the desired Chapter. After the cinematic finishes, you'll be able to select the character you didn't pick before.

Complete all of the alternate fights.

Play the final four fights in Chapter 12 as whoever you didn't choose the first time to receive the alternate ending. The Achievement should unlock when the credits finish.

The first run through Story consists of 51 fights. For this Achievement, you'll engage in 25 additional fights. Start on Chapter 3 (the first one with alternate battles) and work your way forward from there.

Multiverse Achievements

Multiverse is Injustice 2's main single-player component, offering an ever-changing array of Portals and Events, as well as unique Gear and rewards. See our Multiverse Guide for an in-depth explanation of how Multiverse works and lots of additional tips and advice.

Event-full (15)

Complete 25 Portal events

See Pulling Overtime.

Pulling Overtime (15)

Complete 100 Portal events

The Multiverse is found under Single Player from the main menu. Each planet in Multiverse offers multiple Portals (ladders/groups of fights) to complete. To get credit for completing a Portal, you must actually beat it.

You'll complete three Tutorial Portals at the start of Multiverse mode. These count towards your goal of 100.

For the Spoiler Alert Achievement, you'll need to complete any Portal from the Battle Simulator planet with each of the 28 non-DLC characters. Combined with the Tutorial, this will put you at 30 completed Portals.

You could just complete any 70 regular events over time to get the Achievement. The fastest way to get credit for an event is to select the Endless Portal from the Battle Simulator planet. Lose right away and you still get credit for completing the Portal, although you won't earn any rewards.

If you want to complete Portals for rewards but haven't got the skills to pay the bills, you're in luck! Here's how to easily win via AI profiles:

Select any Portal for which you have a level-appropriate character (preferably your highest-level hero or villain).

Skip past the five player profiles and select the first AI Loadout. Note that you should customize the AI Loadout with level-appropriate equipment beforehand.

Let the AI fighter play through the Portal for you! As long as the character is equipped well enough for the ladder, it should win every battle for you.

Spoiler Alert (30)

View all character endings in the Battle Simulator

Select the Battle Simulator planet from the Multiverse.

You can complete any of the Portals on this planet except for the Endless Portal to view a character ending.

For expediency, select the Novice Battle Simulator. It consists of five fights.

Choose Very Easy difficulty.

Complete the Battle Simulator with all 28 non-DLC characters to get the Achievement. This means you'll need to have completed Story mode and unlocked Brainiac.

Remember, you can choose AI Loadouts to make this easier. See Pulling Overtime for more details.

Online Achievements

Only A Real Master (15)

Beat an opponent online while they still have 90% health and you have 10% or less health remaining

This can be done in any online match, including private matches.

To boost it:

Select Online and then Private Match.

Allow the other player to reduce your health down to ten percent or less and then stop attacking.

Now beat up the other player until you win.

Winning Is Fun (15)

Win 10 ranked matches

Select Ranked from the Online menu.

Score a total of ten ranked wins over time to get the Achievement.

Gear doesn't affect ranked matches, but you can still stack things in your favor slightly by selecting powerful characters like Deadshot and Darkseid.

Don't Stop Me Now (15)

Win 50 player matches

Select Player from the Online menu.

Pick Versus or King of the Hill. Versus is a much faster way to play and win matches, but you'll need to spend a little time with King of the Hill for the I Voted and Off with His Head Achievements, too.

Score a total of fifty wins over time to get the Achievement.

Gear does affect player matches, so try to use your best gear. You can also stack things in your favor slightly by selecting powerful characters like Deadshot and Darkseid.

A Real Contender (15)

Play 200 online matches

All online matches, win or lose, count towards this Achievement.

You should get at least 60-65 matches out of the way while going for the ranked, player match, and King of the Hill Achievements.

The easiest way to complete your remaining matches is by boosting them with a friend. Select Private Match and take turns losing.

I Voted (15)

Vote correctly 10 times in King of the Hill

The object of this one is to correctly guess who will win ten King of the Hill matches. For every vote you get right, you gain a small reward in credits.

Select Online, Player, and then King of the Hill.

Once you're able to join a game with three or more people in the lobby, you'll be able to vote on the outcome of matches that you are spectating.

When the two players you're spectating have selected their fighters and the arena, a voting box will pop up. You have five seconds to select the person you think will win and confirm (A button on Xbox One).

Try to select higher level players or the person who won the previous game. The current King of the Hill often remains at the top for several matches in a row.

Off with His Head (15)

Dethrone a King 5 times in King of the Hill

In King of the Hill matches, the King is the person who is currently on a winning streak.

Select Online, Player, and then King of the Hill.

You must wait until your turn comes up to play, and then beat the King.

If you want to speed this along, be sure to lose the next match whenever you become King. Consecutive wins as King won't help you dethrone other Kings!

Private matches don't count for this one, but inviting friends into public matches is allowed.

Be Pre-Paired (15) – Secret Achievement

Harley must dethrone an opponent in King Of The Hill with the final hit coming from Double-Trouble

Select Online, Player, and then King of the Hill.

You must wait until your turn comes up to play, and then select Harley Quinn.

Not only do you have to win the match, your final hit needs to come from Harley's Double-Trouble character power!

To perform Double-Trouble as Harley Quinn, wait until her character power is fully charged. Then press and hold the character power button (B on Xbox One) and she will send both of her hyenas to attack at once.

Gear and Mother Box-related Achievements

So Many Presents (15)

Open 100 Mother Boxes

Mother Boxes can be opened from the Brother Eye Vault on the main menu.

Ways to acquire Mother Boxes:

Join a guild (preferably Windows Central's), and you'll earn free boxes as members of the guild win online matches and complete other goals.

Some Multiverse Portals offer Mother Boxes as rewards. Achieving the Gold score target in these usually gets you extra boxes, too.

You can buy Mother Boxes using credits and Guild Points. Bronze Motherboxes only cost 1,000 credits, but they're unlikely to contain worthwhile gear.

There's My Pants (15)

Collect a total of 200 pieces of Common Gear, excluding shaders

Simply open a lot of Mother Boxes and eventually you'll accumulate 200 pieces of Common Gear. You can also receive Gear as a random reward for fights and for completing Multiverse Portals. See So Many Presents for tips on acquiring boxes.

What To Wear? (15)

Collect a total of 100 pieces of Rare Gear, excluding shaders

Simply open a lot of Mother Boxes and eventually you'll accumulate 100 pieces of Rare Gear. The greater the rarity of the Mother Box, the higher the chance of receiving Gear of higher rarity.

You can also receive Gear as a random reward for fights and for completing Multiverse Portals. See So Many Presents for tips on acquiring boxes.

Hipster (15)

Collect a total of 50 pieces of Epic Gear, excluding shaders

Simply open a lot of Mother Boxes and eventually you'll accumulate 50 pieces of Epic Gear. The greater the rarity of the Mother Box, the higher the chance of receiving Gear of higher rarity.

You can also receive Gear as a random reward for fights and for completing Multiverse Portals. See So Many Presents for tips on acquiring boxes.

Garage Sale (15)

Sell a total of 250 pieces of gear

To sell gear:

Select Customize Characters from the main menu.

Highlight any fighter for which you have excess pieces of Gear – preferably low-level stuff that the character has outgrown.

If playing with Versus, perform the Cape Counter at close range and immediately attack with the other controller. Do this at twenty percent health.

Back to Where You Belong (15) – Secret Achievement

Play as Batman and send all Gotham villains through the Arkham Transitions

Arena transitions are performed by pressing Back + Heavy Attack (Back + A on Xbox One) while standing with a foe positioned against the appropriate side of an arena that has a transition. The transition in the default Arkham Asylum arena is located on the right side of the arena.

Play as Batman, select the Arkham Asylum arena, and perform transitions against the following fighters:

Bane

Catwoman

Deadshot

Harley Quinn

Joker

Poison Ivy

Scarecrow

It's Electric (15)

Black Adam must win the match with the final hit coming from Orbs of Seth

Orb's of Seth is Black Adam's Character Power.

When the enemy's life is very low, press the Character Power button (B on Xbox One) at close range.

When Canaries Cry (15)

Black Canary must defeat any opponent with the final hit coming from a level 3 Canary Cry

Black Canary's character power charges up a total of three times if not used. The animated wavelength above her character power meter turns red when it's fully charged.

Press (don't hold) the character power button when the opponent has about 20 percent or less health remaining. The blast travels all the way across the screen at level 3.

The Scarab Made Me Do It (15)

Blue Beetle must defeat any opponent with the final hit coming from a Meter Burn Mandible Strike

When the opponent has thirty percent life or so, press the Character Power button to extend Blue Beetle's blades.

Perform the Mandible Strike move and press Meter Burn just a tiny moment after you hit Medium Attack. If you hit it quickly enough (but not simultaneously), he'll perform the Meter Burn version of the move.

I Didn't Do It (15)

Brainiac must defeat any opponent with the final hit coming from Beta Strike

You must have unlocked Brainiac by completing Story mode or buying him as DLC.

Brainiac's Beta Strike is his Character Ability.

Just press the Character Ability button (B on Xbox One) when your enemy has ten percent health.

FROSTY!!! (15)

Captain Cold must defeat Flash with the final hit coming from Cryogenic Blast

As soon as the Lasso connects, hit Meter Burn. If successful, Wonder Woman will pull her enemy forward and exclaim, 'Submit!"

Miscellaneous Achievements

I Have Friends Now (15)

Join a Guild

Upon reaching player level five, anyone can join a guild or create their own. Members earn Guild XP for every match, which contributes towards free Guild Mother Boxes for everyone in the guild. You get rewards just for being in the guild and playing.

Of course we have our own guild on Xbox One, and we'd love for active players to join! Because member slots are limited, we require these criteria to join the guild:

Must be level 20 or higher.

You must play Injustice 2 several times a week.

You must earn Guild Points every week, either by playing online battles, or completing Multiverse or Guild Multiverse events.

You must complete one or more Guild Multiverses every week.

If you can handle those requirements, please join up! Search for us by Guild ID JQ5PC. We look forward to fighting with you!

Overlord (15)

Win 5 AI Battle Simulation matches

Even though this is sort of a single-player Achievement, the AI Battle Simulator mode is found under the Multiplayer menu. Your team will fight against other player-created teams, hence the multiplayer designation.

First, set up your defenders.

Select Multiplayer and then AI Battle Simulator.

Pick Assign Defenders.

Choose your three highest level characters and save the team.

Pick Customize AI Characters and equip your three team members with the best gear they can use.

Now it's time to beat other player's defenders.

Select Multiplayer and then AI Battle Simulator.

Choose the Fight option.

Select the same team you set up as your defenders.

Now pick an opposing team to fight. You want to pick the lowest level player possible, preferably someone lower level than you. Press the Refresh button if you don't see any viable options.

During the match, press the fast-forward button twice to speed things up as much as possible.

If two out of three of your fighters win their matches, you get the overall win and a Gold Mother Box.

Repeat until you have five wins. The Achievement will pop on the final results screen.

If you want to continue winning AI Battles for Gold Mother Boxes after hitting the daily limit of five wins, view your Battle Log and delete your previous battles.

Catch The 4:30 To Metropolis (15)

Knock an opponent into the Memorial Station Arena Transition at 4:30

This Achievement is real-time based and must be accomplished at 4:30 AM or PM. It reportedly has a couple of minutes of flexibility, so it should still unlock if you perform the transition slightly early or late.

This can be done in any mode, but it's easiest to do it in either local Multiplayer Versus with a second controller or Single-Player Single Fight against an AI opponent of Very Easy difficulty.

To select the Metropolis Memorial Station Arena:

Choose anyone for both characters.

Highlight the Metropolis (The Ace of Spades Bar) Arena.

Press the Change Starting Arena button (Y on Xbox One) to switch to the train station arena.

Once the fight has started:

Beat on your opponent until he or she is on their final life meter.

Get the opponent against the right-side edge of the arena. Now wait for 4:30.

At 4:30, press Back + Heavy Attack (A button on Xbox One) to knock the enemy back and initiate the transition. The Achievement should pop during the transition animation.

It's Showtime (15)

Knock an opponent into the Empire Theatre Arena Transition at 8:00pm

This Achievement is real-time based and must be accomplished at 8:00 PM. It reportedly has a couple of minutes of flexibility, so it should still unlock if you perform the transition slightly early or late.

This can be done in any mode, but it's easiest to do it in either local Multiplayer Versus with a second controller or Single-Player Single Fight against an AI opponent of Very Easy difficulty.

Select the default Gotham City arena.

Get the opponent against the left-side edge of the arena. Now wait for 8:00 PM.

At 8:00 PM, press Back + Heavy Attack (A button on Xbox One) to knock the enemy back and initiate the transition. The Achievement should pop during the transition animation.

Going Ape (15)

Throw 3 kegs during a match with Gorilla Grodd at the Ace o' Clubs

This Achievement can be done in any mode, but it's easiest to do it in either local Multiplayer Versus with a second controller or Single-Player Single Fight against an AI opponent of Very Easy difficulty.

Select Grodd for one or bother fighters.

Pick the default Metropolis arena.

The kegs are found on the left side of the arena. Simply grab and throw all three of them with the environmental interaction button (Right Bumper on Xbox One).

Dr. Fate-Ality (15)

Perform 3 background bounces on the Empire Theatre background

This Achievement can be done in any mode, but it's easiest to do it in either local Multiplayer Versus with a second controller or Single-Player Single Fight against an AI opponent of Very Easy difficulty.

Select the default Gotham City arena.

When standing near the center of the arena, the environmental interaction will knock a foe into the theater. Just do this three times during the match.

Stay Down (15)

Knock an opponent into an Arena Transition 25 times

Arena transitions are performed by pressing Back + Heavy Attack (Back + A on Xbox One) while standing with a foe positioned against the appropriate side of an arena that has a transition.

The following arenas have transitions:

Arkham Asylum

Atlantis

Batcave

Brainiac's Ship

Gotham City

Kahndaq

Metropolis

Red Sun Prison

Although you can perform transitions during any fight or mode, I recommend doing them while working on the character-specific Achievements. Batman's Back to Where You Belong Achievement involves performing seven transitions all on its own. If you pick an appropriate arena and do one transition as you work on everyone else's individual Achievements, you'll knock out the remaining eighteen transitions along the way.

Killer Croc (15)

Have the final hit come from the crocodile in Slaughter Swamp

This can be done in any mode, but local Versus or Single Play are easiest. It requires a strong character like Bane, Cyborg, Darkseid, Superman, Supergirl, or Swamp Thing to perform the environmental interaction with the crocodile.

Select the Slaughter Swamp arena.

Reduce the foe's life to less than twenty percent.

Have the strong character perform the environmental interaction with the crocodile while the victim stands at close range.

This Is Why I Can't Have Nice Things (15) – Secret Achievement

Be in the Batcave when all the Environmental Interactions are used

This Achievement should be attempted either in local Versus or an online match against a friend. It will require a fast character (Batman is the obvious choice) and a strong character (Bane, Cyborg, Darkseid, Superman, Supergirl, or Swamp Thing) in order to perform all eight interactions.

Select the default Batcave arena, and then perform these interactions:

Throw three hanging**** red lights (requires a strong character).

Throw three boxes on the right side of the arena.

Throw someone into the computer monitor in the background on the left.

Knock someone into the computers on the left side of the arena.

Next, perform an arena transition on the left side of the arena (Back + Heavy Attack). In the second arena:

Grab and kick the two tires off the green cart.

Ride the Batcycle at the left side of the arena.

Knock someone into the Batmobile on the right side of the arena.

Smash someone with the generator on the right side of the arena.

The Achievement will unlock for both players as soon as the eight interaction is completed.

Would You Like Some Crumpets With That? (15)

Duck 10 times in a row during a match

This is a complete gimme. During any fight, simply press down to duck a total of 10 times. It will likely be the first Achievement you earn.

Untouchable (15)

Go 10 seconds of the match without being hit by your opponent

You should get this naturally while playing the game, but you can also set it up easily by either local Multiplayer Versus with a second controller or Single-Player Single Fight against an AI opponent of Very Easy difficulty.

If playing Multiplayer Versus, just don't do anything and the Achievement will pop after a few seconds. Against an AI opponent, choose a character with a ranged special move like Superman or Darkseid and spam the move repeatedly to keep the enemy away for 10 seconds.

Feel the Power (15)

As you work towards the other Achievements, you'll naturally reach level 35 long before everything else is done. I recommend sending AI profiles into the Battle Simulator of the Multiverse while you work on unlocking everyone's endings. They'll level up, and so will your player profile.

Heathens (15) – Secret Achievement

Win a match with each villain

For this Achievement, you must win a single-player or multiplayer battle with all fourteen characters who appear on the right side of the character selection screen. This includes:

Atrocitus

Bane

Black Adam

Brainiac

Captain Cold

Cheetah

Deadshot

Gorilla Grodd

Joker

Poison Ivy

Robin

Scarecrow

Superman

Wonder Woman

Because Brainiac is unlocked by completing Story mode, you'll have to finish that before you can go after Heathens. Story mode involves victories with Black Adam, Superman, and Wonder Woman. You'll knock the other wins out naturally while going for the character-specific win Achievements.

Feeling Super (15)

Perform every Supermove

Supermoves require four full bars of Super meter to perform. When your meter is filled, press the Supermove button combination (Left Trigger + Right Trigger on Xbox One) to activate the move.

For this Achievement, you'll need to perform the Supermoves of all 28 non-DLC characters, including Brainiac (unlocked via completing Story mode). This can be done in any mode other than Practice, with Single Fight and Versus being the quickest options.

Nine characters have Supermove-related Achievements (Cyborg, Swamp Thing, Green Arrow, Doctor Fate, The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Joker, and Superman) so be sure to get those knocked out before you start trying to perform whichever ones you're missing.

Master of All Trades (70)

Reach max level with all characters

20 is the maximum level for each character. It takes a total of 61,078 XP to reach level 20. For this Achievement, you must max out all 28 non-DLC characters, including Brainiac (unlocked via completing Story mode). Everyone used in Story mode will gain some XP there and reach level three or four by the time you complete, which helps a little.

There are many ways to earn XP. AI Battle Simulator has such low XP payouts that I don't recommend it. My preference is simply to take AI profiles into the Multiverse. Send your AI fighters into the Battle Simulator while you work on unlocking everyone's endings, and then keep using it to boost their XP. See Pulling Overtime and Spoiler Alert for more instructions and tips.

Characters can also be instantly leveled up to 20 from the Customize Characters screen by spending premium currency crystals on them, but that would be a big waste of crystals and/or money.

The ultimate superhero fighting game

If you haven't picked up Injustice 2 yet, what are you waiting for? In our review, I remarked that "the amount of single-player content in Injustice 2 is unprecedented" and called it "a fantastic sequel." Tons of iconic characters, an addictive Gear system, and excellent online multiplayer make this game the complete package. Anyone with a love of DC characters or fighting games is going to love Injustice 2.
